§ 3112.1. Restricted licenses for other occupations
(a) Occupations other than barbering and cosmetology.--Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, if a county correctional facility or the Department of Corrections offers training in the occupation, other than barbering and cosmetology, which requires the issuance of a license, certificate, registration or permit by the bureau in order to engage in that occupation, the applicable licensing board or licensing commission may issue a restricted license to an applicant as specified in this section as an alternative to refusing to issue or renew, suspending, revoking or limiting a license as a result of a finding that the applicant for a license, certificate, registration or permit lacks the fitness to engage in the occupation due to a criminal conviction or is otherwise ineligible for licensure due to a criminal conviction. The following shall apply:
(4) The applicant has demonstrated a commitment to living a law-abiding life, which may be established by a letter of recommendation from the applicant's probation officer, parole officer or appropriate official within the county correctional facility or the Department of Corrections, or by any other means, at the discretion of the licensing board or licensing commission, as applicable.
(e) Notice.--Within 30 days of the conclusion of the term of the restricted license, the licensee supervising the holder of the restricted license shall provide written notice to the licensing board or licensing commission, as appropriate, as to whether the restricted license holder complied with all conditions imposed by the licensing board or licensing commission under subsection (c). If the restricted license holder meets all of the other qualifications for licensure under the applicable practice act, the licensing board or licensing commission, as appropriate, shall issue a license to practice that occupation.
